what a shame
I'm so stoked on the new wallet design. Conceptually boiling it down to its essence was painful. We boiled the backend down last year, but even then we didn't know what visual form it should take.
Spark?
This is just a redesign of the existing wallets.
Not to waste your time but what exactly are you redesigning and why?
You can view the details here: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/pull/2981
There are images toward the bottom.
Because wallets are the biggest onboarding hurdle. Folks come here to play with sats and it's too hard as is.
The plan is to add internal wallets in a later phase: Spark, Lexe, Ark, fedimint, Breeze, whatever else we can that doesn't require channel management in-app.
Then, if we can make it so every stacker has a great wallet, we can remove cowboy credits.
Did you asked for permission?
The US is facing a crisis that resembles the https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2008/2/29/the-1956-suez-war that led to the decline of the UK’s colonial powers in the Middle East, according to a former senior US diplomat who served as ambassador to Tunisia.
“The British won tactically; they lost strategically – and they had to hand over security responsibility in the region to the United States,” Joey Hood told Al Jazeera. “And now it’s Iran’s turn to receive that regional security responsibility from the United States.”
Negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz could “be done in an hour”, Hood said, with assurances that Iran would reopen the waterway and that mines would be removed from the main shipping lanes.
But the more complex demands include working out the level of sanctions relief Iran may receive, as well as its nuclear file.
“The diplomat in me wants them to be very, very close, and for this to be on the road to a conclusion very, very quickly,” Hood said.

You have every right to be yourself — and you can do it without challenging others to make the same decisions as you…I dare you
I dare you to go back in time, in 2010-2012 and mine BTC with CPU/GPU... as I did. That was the decision I made. So I challenge you to do the same decision.
And not for the fiat value (meaningless) but for the experience of being early in something that change the entire world.
Like the 2nd fire discovery...
https://darth-coin.github.io/general/bitcoin-2nd-fire-discovery-en.html
Ask yourself: why you didn't joined Bitcoin in 2009-2010-2012 or even 2015 ?
I did join Bitcoin in 2011 but sold everything when it reached 12 dollars of value. Can't blame myself, I was 12.
Still think about it sometimes. It was a lot.
see, no. exactly. you lived your life. and that's awesome for you. and I'm living mine. and I love it.
so why dare others if you cannot handle others dares?
If you love the decisions you made in your life, don't dare others to do the same.
If you were mining btc in 2012 why the fuck are you now reduced to living in a structurally unsound sackcloth hovel that even your wife will not join you in?
You are all talk and no walk.
exactly,, thank you
have any comments below you'd like to revisit?
well you figured out it was about you lol so you got something
should I care?
My own dgaf level about this fucked up world is way beyond your imagination...

Been thinking about doing a daily discussion thread for construction and engineering territory
I will join when you will dump your love for fiat...
Until then here is my construction and engineering without any degree into them: a living house, simple and functional.
I wonder how many stackers dare to do the same thing, with their bare hands and without too many resources.
Did you check the floodplain map for this area?
What about the soils? What kind of foundation are you using?
is a fucking mountain hill, water just flow down and in 10 min is gone.
fucking hell,, all rocks ! I've dug so many rocks that I get tired. With my fucking bare hands! All the rocks you see on the front wall are from the hole I dug for 4 years.
Are you crazy? is solid rock. The whole mountain is a fucking rock. Nothing is moving there.
I don't have to be an engineer to see these things.
FFS this is the foundation, moving the 100 kg boulders by hand !
True engineering is designing for the unknown as well as the known.
Trying to mitigate risk of your shelter failing during a natural event like an earthquake or a typhoon.
Don’t want 4 years of digging a hole by hand to have the foundation fail because you didn’t account for soil compaction under the rock layer after a 100 year storm
See you in 100 years. My little house will still be in place as it is today.
And this is only the 1st one as a testing ground. More to come.
It could. But this is the trust me bro approach to design and construction it could work for 1000 years or a 3 sigma event on that mountain can wipe you out.
I saw houses built like this around. I just re-do what they did for more than 1000 years ago (and their houses are still in place).
I've tried to do a fucking stonewall like they did hundreds of years ago and cost me so much work just finding the right stones.
I think that construction is not just schooling and learning in university about terrain and materials. Is also about feeling and studying the surrounded area and materials. I founnd out (WITHOUT any paid studying in construction) by myself, testing and failing that not all rocks are the same good for construction.
As a fucking IT guy, that all his life worked only with computers, I've learned so much about construction and engineering, just by building this stupid small house. Just test, fail, repeat, improve.
It looks unsafe, dank and decrepit.
Even your wife refuses to join you there in your sackcloth, mud and rubble hovel.
LMAO.
You may be a software engineer but you are not a builder.

https://spectator.com/article/why-did-the-police-cuff-henry-nowak/
I think that "police have a serious case to answer" for anyone that deceases while in their custody. Doesn't matter why a person is in cuffs, where they are from, what they said or did not say. Cuffed = custody. Custody = responsibility. Period.
He was stabbed and bleeding and they tried to cuff him
why? because he is white
actually it does matter where they are from and what the color of their skin is, no need to abandon common sense and empiricism

Hey @justin_shocknet I remember your old project https://github.com/shocknet/chargedMail
I see that is available for Gmail servers. Is it possible to adapt it for a self-hosted email server ?
Now I use a standard NDR 550 reply with a LN invoice, using a whitelist, but Is kind of manually task.
It uses Gmail API so a different client would basically be a rewrite
maybe when you have time, integrate it with NMail, at the bridge level?
https://github.com/nogringo/nostr-mail-client
hmm, putting in nmail-like client in bxrd might be an idea... then can use clink for the paywall

Coín of the day:
If you look for politicians, lawyers and the state approval or permission to use Bitcoin, is that Bitcoin anymore?
it s slavery
by consent

Generally, Bitcoin dgaf what meatspace does. The only real meatspace issues are miner decisions, but one's filter is the other's profits... meaning that even in miner "regulation", there is enough incentive for someone else to turn their miner with non-permissioned, inclusive block templates. It's just something to keep an eye on; i.e. be on the lookout for politically incentivized reorgs.
Other than that, if someone wants to ask permission for something, that is generally their problem... BUT...
... I've ran into problems with businesses (on both sides of the Atlantic) lately though, because the compliance pressure is nasty to them and many people are fully dependent on keeping their local overlords happy. An additional problem is that since so many in the Bitcoin space are dependent on either the fiat printer going brrrr, or the fiat rails they or their upstream source of sats depend on, that it is hard to do business past barter without the compliance slop. Doors will stay closed without compliance, regardless of potential value delivered - and in many cases, protective solutions make for a thick layer of overhead that would otherwise be completely unnecessary and wasteful.
This is the real problem now. @jasonb noted something similar about this yesterday too: #1494784. We can dismiss it with "pearls before swine", but maybe the real problem is that many people that would otherwise be interested are fully held hostage with no clean way out.
Ok let me put it more clear: who is more a bitcoiner?
Bootlicking is never good, because it strenghtens dependency.
I just think that with 99.999% of humans enslaved, we shouldn't blame the victims.
bootlickers are not victims... are the real supporters of the state/govs.
Without bootlickers, govs will not see themselves as "legitimate".
Bootlickers will see themselves as "criminals" because they didn't obey the rules of the masters, the same rules they demand...
Bootlickers are worse than politicians themselves !
I'm not disagreeing with you. But, the fact that tools exist doesn't mean that everyone is ready or skilled enough to use these tools. And Bitcoin is such a tool.
I think that the challenge is not to draw lines and call people names on what we perceive to be the wrong side of that line. I think that instead, the challenge is to help people in a way that is useful to them. Help that will empower them to improve their lives. Step by step, while being careful to not push them into another trap.
I don't have all the answers towards it but I do think that we can meaningfully help people, and it would be good to be able to focus on those that need it most. Side effect of that focus is that those that are thriving in their slavery, will keep doing so for a much longer time.
You are still in the "being nice with normies" phase... I was there too.
Enough "being nice". Fuck'em'all. Bitcoin is only for the brave.
But I am tired of these stupid normies and what is more annoying is that some people that I do not consider "normies" are the worse bootlickers...
That really piss me off !
I see that differently. I think that I'm in the
ignore the normiesphase. I don't want to work with normies, I don't really want to work with people that do not ignore the normies either. I don't seek to convert people into a religion. For exactly the reason you're saying: it's frustrating af.I don't want to be angry at stupid people because my anger won't change them. They'll still appeal to their overlords and try to manipulate the injustice to be on the other guy instead of them, and profit from it. Fuck that.
Instead, I want to focus my energy on those that truly want or need the alternative. Not to get rich, but to be enabled to do great things. Everything I do should ultimately lead to that: free people from the bonds they were born and taught into, or worse: coerced into. But for that to succeed, we need more than just Bitcoin and I too don't have a complete formula for it. It'd be good to get that though.
